My goals are to graduate college with a bachelors degree and to become a better swimmer, which will require me to balance my swimming as well as academic activities. As someone who has been swimming since 4th grade, I have experience in dividing my time to meet expectations of school. This, as well as my motivation to always achieve more, is why I would be a good candidate for a swim team. I will not let my academic requirements or athletic requirements to interfere with one another and keep me from exceeding expectations.
